ROT : Haiti ; what to do?

[AllenETreat]

Well, Our buddy Aristide is "out" ; panic &

mayhem are the order of the day, the U.S. Embassey/Consulate wants out....



...and 500 Marines just went in to sort out this "mess".



Any ideas?



What say the augurers?

If an angry mob of Haitians can run Aristide out of the country... Why can't we do the same thing with &quot;Dubya?&quot; <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

We either need to get the hell out of there or nuke 'em to the ground. This getting our guys killed for nothing (Bagdad, etc...) has got to stop.

Agreed. The framer's of Our Constitution, in it's pre amble spoke of provision &quot;..for the common defense..&quot; I would take that to mean America. Then along comes not one, but two world wars, and next thing ya' know, we're fighting every damn country on the planet ( not all of it political in nature BTW ; if one thinks some kind of &quot;capital gain&quot; isn't to be had look at Halliburton &amp;
the Carlise group! ) I'm sure Webster, Clay &amp; Calhoun ( the three opponents of &quot;The Monroe doctrine&quot; ) and a battle with England over sea faring trade might have concurred. But this &quot;political correctness&quot;
and the Shrub's high rating in the opinion polls mak me wonder about Our national mindset of late. As do the so-called freedom loving citizens saying the Constitution should be &quot;repealed&quot; in the namesake of &quot;safety &amp; security&quot;
